Extensions for Web Developers (Firefox / Internet Explorer)

A list of Firefox extensions that are useful for web development. The Web Developer Extension is a 'must have' for web developers (i.e. if you could only have one, it would be it).

Update (07 Dec 2005): Add N Edit Cookies, DevBoi, Screen grab!, MozRef Sidebar.
Update (20 Jan 2006): Console², FireBug, View Cookies, View Rendered Source Chart.
Update (25 Jan 2006): IE View Lite.

And for Internet Explorer:

There may be others for Internet Explorer that I do not know of (I have also not listed anything that you have to pay for).
